I'll play on this one

Here's me getting ready for my next run (and dad of course being there with the camera for that occasion!


Midway through Turn 4..sorry for the quality on this one, my friend was using an old camera.


The infield at Roebling Road is more like a park than a race track

mdex: are you on the track without helmets?

They must run them 'fast and loose' up north!

Oh, it's not a Porsche, but it's me on the track. This is in the borrowed Sentra SE-R ITS race car. What a weekend. Temps in the 30s and raining. I had no qualifying time because we we had to go through tech and by the time we got the wet set-up on the car, qualifying was over. Grrrr....

Started 20th, dead last. Finished 10th, 3rd in class! What a weekend. The really funny part was our rain tires were 11 year old original tires. Not original equipment, but the tires it came with from the factory. It was so cold the race rains couldn't get heat in them and we just blew past literally half the field. I passed every car behind me in this photo.

Me at NHIS the weekend of 5/31



Highlight of my weekend @ NHIS, got the point by on the back straight by this car...honest!!!!



The owner recently recieved the car and was there just shaking things out. I have more pix from the weekend, unfortunately they are all static shots...

This car was one of the best replica's I have ever see, The craftsmanship was incredible....

Best,

Can it be mitigated with shocks, larger swaybars, etc.?

Here's one we found at TWS last fall when the Houston Rennlisters took a drive to a PCA DE there.

Use springs to do the work of springs, not shocks or swaybars. See Tifo's post.

Only have the old car pics at the moment. 968 has been to the track a few times, but I still need some "action" shots...

Me at Lime Rock. Big Bend I believe. I wish it was bigger, it would make a better background that way.
